If you’ve been thinking about getting your child’s ears pierced and want a safe, welcoming place that doesn’t feel cold or rushed—hi, welcome to Inkvictus. We’re a tattoo, piercing, and esthetics studio based in Raleigh, NC, and yes—we offer children’s ear piercing for ages 8 and up. But like everything we do, it’s done with care, integrity, and just the right amount of sparkle.

Why 8+?

At Inkvictus, we only offer piercings to kids ages 8 and older because we want them to be part of the decision. This isn’t something we do to your child—it’s something we do with them. Consent, comfort, and communication matter. We walk them through the process, explain every step, and make sure they feel empowered the whole way through.

We don’t rush. We don’t use piercing guns. We don’t treat it like a transaction. This is a moment—and we treat it like one.

What to Expect

From the second you walk in, your kiddo will know this isn’t your average piercing shop. Our studio is colorful, warm, and full of energy (and flowers—we’ve got a flower shop inside, too). You’ll be greeted by friendly faces, calming music, and someone from our front desk team who’s ready to walk you through everything.

Your child’s piercer will take time to:

• Explain the process step-by-step
• Help them pick their jewelry
• Answer every single question (even the silly ones—we love those most)
• Make sure everyone is comfortable before we begin

We use single-use needles, high-quality titanium jewelry, and follow strict safety protocols in a clean studio.

Who’s Doing the Piercing?

Our team is trained not just in technique, but in care. We’ve worked hard to create an environment that feels safe for everyone—including your littles. You can meet our piercers ahead of time, ask questions, and even schedule a tour (complimentary consultation) if you’re unsure.
